I know that these pictures are way late and you've probably been wondering why I haven't posted in so long. I intended to get Halloween up quickly, but I will confess, we did not really take any pictures of Halloween. We had a family party, and we were busy doing games so I didn't really get any pictures, and them Emma was so excited to go trick or treating that I thought I would get pictures afterwards...that's where we had the problem. After about 20 minutes Emma tripped while she was running. We picked her up off the sidewalk and I started looking at her hands for scrapes but there weren't any. She was doing some major crying, and that's when Geoff pointed out her forehead...her pumpkin had gotten in the way and she fell head first on the sidewalk...she already had some major bruising and swelling, so we ran her back home to check her out more thoroughly...we iced her head for awhile, and after much begging we finally were able to take her back out. I forgot all about pictures. Emma's poor head took quite awhile to heal, and I was a little nervous for awhile that she had cracked her skull. She started with just a bruise where she hit the sidewalk, but then it slowly turned into a black eye, and then 2 black eyes. :(
Luckily one of my friends does a Halloween portrait studio every year, and we went to that the night before, I just got those pictures, and I think they turned out very cute. Little Miss Muffett and the spider that sat down beside her had a great Halloween, and Geoff and I enjoyed watching them have fun.
I do have a few pictures of Emma's head that I will post soon.
If you read my first post from Halloween you would remember that Emma had an accident early in the trick or treating, here is a picture of her massive bump just about 5 minutes after it all happened. Poor kid, she ended up getting 2 black eyes within a few days of it happening, it took about 2 weeks before it started to look better. If you look at her closely you can see a slight indent and a little color still, and she still tells people about how she tripped over the stroller and fell on her head.
This is after she fell and after we were done trick or treating, she got A LOT of candy(I think it helped when she showed everyone what happened to her).
This is James and Emma at Pirate Island Pizza right before Halloween
This is Emma handing out candy when she was done trick or treating, she liked helping with the door.
Little James put on part of my costume after we left him home. He's such a cutie!
This is after a little candy and pizza.
I know that I am way behind. I am trying to get caught up. James really likes to join me on the computer, makes it hard to do this. I'm hoping to post some more this week.
